Hamilton Eisteddfod

Now in its 62nd year, the Hamilton Eisteddfod brings together the region’s vibrant creative community at the Hamilton Performing Arts Centre. Across 14 days, performers of all ages take to the stage – sharing their talents in music, dance, speech and drama.

The Eisteddfod is a rare chance for both students and adults to develop confidence, connect with peers and receive thoughtful, expert feedback from professional adjudicators. For audiences, it’s an opportunity to witness the dedication and passion of local artists and to celebrate the richness of the region’s cultural life.

This longstanding festival is a highlight on Hamilton’s calendar, drawing families, friends and visitors into a joyful celebration of performance and personal achievement.
